Setting up a pin number
Userlevel 1
On my new P20 Lite I was trying to access some settings and was asked for a pin number. I haven't set one up. How do I do that?

Hey @BSJones ,
By default, the SIM PIN should be 0000 or 1234.
If you do get locked out, then you'll need to get a PUK code from us which we can get for you.

I've tried going to SIM card lock. I entered a pin I wanted to set and it replied that I'd entered an incorrect pin. So I guess there is a default pin set already. I can't change my pin unless I know what the pin it came with is.

Hello @BSJones ,
You can set up 1 type of lock screen access but you would usually be asked to also set up a PIN.
The main method is used and then when you click forgotten pattern, you'll be able to enter the PIN.
For example,
My phone has a fingerprint set up.
If I fail the fingerprint multiple times/don't unlock my phone for a few hours/slide up on the screen
I'll be able to manually input my PIN.

I followed that route but this relates to the lock-scene. I'd chosen pattern for that. It looks like it's either / or, so having chosen 'pattern' I have no option to set a pin.
Go to Security & Privacy. Select Screen lock & password. Then select Password. After that you can choose to set up a password, PIN or pattern.
If you're talking about the PIN to your SIM lock. After Security & Password, go to More and then SIM Lock. You can change your PIN there.
